I felt in safe hands from the day I met Mr Williams. I was put at ease and felt that he gave me all the knowledge I needed for my operation snd recovery. I cannot speak highly enough of his care. My knee op has been very successful. I followed his guidance on recovery. Ice being my best painkiller!! Static cycling works well….
The Duchy hospital should be proud of all their staff. The care from everyone involved at the hospital was second to none.
Mr. Dan Williams performed a partial knee replacement on my left knee and I cannot thank him enough. The biggest thing that helped me before the surgery, and after, was to be told to use an exercise bike because, unfortunately, I couldn’t walk far because of the pain due to bone on bone osteoarthritis. The bike enabled me to build up the strength in my upper leg.
The operation went extremely well and Mr. Williams was absolutely brilliant. He came every day to see me whilst at the Duchy.
My knee is progressing well and I am so thankful to Mr. Williams for giving me my life back.
Also I would like to say my stay at the Duchy was excellent. All the staff were fantastic .
Thank you so much.
Dan Williams is a skilled, knowledgeable surgeon. A personable man who actively listens to his patients. With encouragement and support in partnership he enables them to achieve their goals. .
I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone with knee problems.
Thank you for my new knee.
After taking Mr Williams advice regarding a course of action for me to take leading up to my operation I was operated on and discharged within 24 hours and have no joint pain what so ever. Continuing with the exercises as instructed and enjoying life pain free. Could not have wished for a better outcome.
Thanks very much.
In 2022 I started getting pain in my left leg at that time i was was leading a very active life walking 10,000+ steps per day doing my house work gardening attending many clubs going on coach trips doing my own shopping
when i had my consultation with Mr Dan Williams in Jan 2025 I had became house bound was unable to do any of those activities could only walk with using a walking stick and a 4 wheel walker was unable to drive had to depend on family and friends ,life became very difficult for ,when I was shown the X rays of my hips and Mr Williams explained then to me and that both would need replacing

Profile
Mr Dan H Williams MBBCh MSc FRCS
Mr Dan H Williams is a Consultant Hip & Knee Surgeon who gets hip pain.
More than 1 in 5 of us will get hip or knee pain at some point in our lives. Dan's goal is to help people like you (and him!) reduce pain and avoid surgery, for hips and knees that last a lifetime.
He practices in Bath and Cornwall- at Bath Clinic, Duchy Hospital and Royal Cornwall Hospital- with an interest in Primary and Revision Hip and Knee Replacement.
If joint replacement or joint revision surgery is the right decision for you, the right information at the right time, can help you to get ready for the operation, build back your strength and get you back to doing the things you love quickly.
He joined the faculty of the University or British Columbia in Vancouver for a 12-month fellowship in 2008 where the lessons from one of his research papers went on to shape his thoughts and career. That paper is worth a closer look..

It’s people that made the biggest difference to their own health outcome.
And that one finding opened Dan’s eyes to what really makes a difference if any of us come to thinking about joint replacement. Dan says:
‘That one result has influenced my treatment philosophy ever since… and continues to help me look after myself, my friends and family and thousands of my patients’.
His master’s degree thesis analysing hip resurfacing is part of a strong portfolio of published research. He’s gone on to contribute clinical expertise to national and international journal review and several medical device review boards. More recently as Vice Chair of the European Commission Expert Panel in Orthopaedic surgery.
Outside of work Dan’s a keen runner and cyclist. So, keeping his own hip pain settled with a set of evidence-based tools remains a daily priority for him. With a young family he wants 40 more years enjoying all that the outdoors has to offer.
Dan has therefore invested in writing about everything hip and knee. He invites you to join 400 other weekly readers of his (free) Lifetime Hip & Knee newsletter.
